~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~

Are you winning the local social media race to capture the hearts and minds of consumers? If not, you should be! We have an incredible amount of information at our fingertips both here in the Rain and elsewhere on the Web to help get us started on the right path. It starts with that first step...take it Rainers! 

Did You Know...according to the Pew Research Center, 76% of Facebook users log in daily. Second place belongs to Instagram at 51%. If we know where real estate consumers may be, it sounds like a good idea to be there too. Provide something of value and see what happens!

I am curious, are any of you actively using Facebook Live to generate interest/leads? For those that are, what tips can you share with the rest of the group? How about success (or failure) with boosts and/or ads? Let's learn together, Rainers!  ;-) 

PLEASE stop by the 5 Facebook Business Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a moment and return the favor.

As always, enjoy Rainers!

Facebook Articles

I had one of those AHA moments this week, based on one of the articles below, and will be tweaking my FB marketing approach for the rest of the year as a result. I am expecting the changes to bring new results! I hope you have one of those moments yourself as you peruse the articles below.

FB has begun rewarding those who share content that loads quickly. Those sites will get rewarded with a higher index priority. On the flipside, some sort of penalty could be on the way for slow loading sites (similar to what Google does). More to follow in the coming weeks...

Happy Facebook Friday! ;-)

Your commitment to this weekly post is so commendable - as I know you're busy. We are still not  utilizing FB for leads - formally. However, I do stay in touch with people via FB.

Katerina: Yes, I can imagine FB Live works great for your targeted audience.

Come back and share your masterpeice once it goes live, Gary.

Always a pleasure, Paula. Thanks.

Pat: They sure are. There are some outstanding tips this week.

I will and hope you do the same, Laura.

Debb: It is my way of giving something back to the AR community. I hope others have benefited over the years from the added FB exposure.

I will be back again next Friday, Steven. ;-)

Christina: Post the new URL when it goes up and I will add you to a future article.

Sally: I know you are determined to make it happen!

So very true, Scott. My grandsons like in San Antonio. Not on the coast but they should see plenty of rain/wind.

Happy to help, Steve.

Anna: It is a good compliment to other online ventures.

Thanks for another good post, Anita Clark . I'm not active on facebook and every time I look at it is confuses me. I keep trying, but so far I'm the one that doesn't get it.
Thanks for sharing,
Bruce

I'm not a fan of FB live, but that's just me.  My fave is Pinterest.  Currently generating over 15,000 clicks/month.  I like FB groups as it's been a great way to network, esp w/ fellow bloggers and to learn about certain niche topics (less distraction).  Also for some articles, some of the groups give me a very targeted audience, especially the local moms groups.

Bruce: It sounds like you could use a virtual assistant to help get you going.

Smart approach with the FB groups, Debbie. Pinterest remains a great way to get more exposure as you know.

That makes good sense, Gabe. I have done the same.

Uploaded videos gain you eyes and hears too. Tracking down your buyer and seller quicker on Facebook than cell, than email, because they respond quicker.  Thanks Anita Clark !

Providing the integrity and service you deserve.

Visited, liked and commented on all 5 pages. 

I've used FB Live a time or two but frankly, I just forget to do it. Now I do post a lot of videos and that seems to get a lot of traction and like on my page.
